Corn Ui Mhuiri

Surprised at this.

I would have thought they would have had at least 15 lads playing club football.

You can't do it all I suppose.
Depends on getting the right teachers or principal in. Saying that Ken O Halloran is teaching there and training hurling.
They have two other teachers from the Cork senior hurling set up as well

Let kids play what they want.
Years ago some GAA schools used to ban soccer and rugby.
Kids are playing what they want hence the reason Cork Schools Football is dead.
Less Kids are playing Sport, collapse of religious order etc etc etc.

CBC ffs lads you want them competing at Schools Rugby, Harty Cup and Corn Ui Mhuiri. Half the School are academics they don't play any sport.
 
It's very much more structured in most schools compared to when I was in school.

I think to THK's point, there are some kids who don't play sport within or outside of school except for PE but that has always been the case.

However, the difference now is that you there is less flexibility. Club rugby nosedives if lads go to Christians or Pres because the schools prevent club training and games.
CCRí used to be a football school, less extent hurling. Now they have soccer, basketball etc etc.
They didn't even field a team in last year's Corn Ui Mhuirí notwithstanding they have intercounty players on the teaching staff.

There was a time if you were a Corn Uí Mhuirí player, you were playing for a Nemo or a Barr's, ended up on the Cork panel and etc etc ........that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

City schools in particular are not drawing from their immediate catchment anymore which further exacerbates the issue. Sign of the times.
